I think it's always been like this. I checked in Finale 2004b: it is also necessary to use the slash key on both the grace note and the eighth note. I think there is also a difference depending on if you create the grace notes as you go along, or if you first write everything as normal note

Yes, this is strange new (I think) behaviour in Finale 2009 (maybe even 2008). In Speedy, you have to hit the / key on the second grace note AND then on the second eighth note. If you hit it on the same note twice, it won't work no matter how many times you hit the slash key on the other
